Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Nappa Leather Lace Up Boots

I absolutely love the look of this boot. I got a pair for both me and my daughter. While she never complained hers fitting too snug, mines were very tight in the top portion of the foot area. For this reason, I have only worn the boots three times and I have had them since before Christmas. It’s very hard to make a recommendation on how to go about properly sizing the shoe because despite the tightness exhibited in the top of the foot area the width and sizing are true to size. If you don’t think this will bother you then I highly recommend buying these boots. Good luck and happy buying!

The boots that are referred to as "purple," are actually a beautiful smoky soft violet shade.. really beautiful, and unusually comfortable during a first wearing. I do wish Dr Martens would do half sizes, but I am in the lucky group that the size 8 is a roomy enough size that I don' t need a 9 which would tend to run big. I recommend thick socks! I would like to see this boot in a platform style.

Great fit. True to size. Awesome material

I ordered the Patent Lamper in a size 8. I have very narrow feet, but wear a true 9 in most shoes (Vans, Nike Fly Knit, and pretty much every type of open toed heel). I have seen the unisex 1460 in person and noted that the size 9 looked at least two sizes too big for my feet. I went with the size 8 after hearing that they would stretch and they fit perfectly. Love the shine to the boots and can't wait to see to what they look like once they've been worn in. Wearing very thin summer socks I was able to wear them straight out of the box and they were super comfortable.

It's always a happy day when I get a new pair o' Docs! And soooo glad Doc Martens has purple boots again, since it's my favorite. It's not a bright purple, so they're fine to wear into work as well. I wear ladies size 9, and these were just about right. They feel a little stiff right out of the box, but I figure that will ease up as I wear them, which I plan to do all day today. There's nothing better than a pair of Docs for Seattle's muddy weather.

These boots are awesome. The cherry finish underneath the black begins to peep through the more you wear these boots. I wore them all over Europe for three weeks and they were the only footwear I took. Worked great, and I got many compliments. I'm a 60yo female fwiw.

We love our boots ???

this return is based only on size. too big. I was able to get the size needed.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to leave a stellar review for these boots. I ordered these on a whim before a trip to Denver thinking they would be cute but also functional in the cold, icy weather. I had read numerous horror stories of the extensive break in period (i.e. blisters and bleeding), but thought “what the heck? I’ve got room in my suitcase for a backup pair of boots just in case.” I was so pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these were straight out of the box. Literally had no break in period to speak of. I wore these all weekend in Denver walking 3-4 miles per day around town and had no discomfort WHAT-SO-EVER! My feet stayed dry, warm and blister free the whole weekend! Plus they paired with every outfit I packed…from jeans to leggings – dressy and casual. If you are on the fence about ordering these, do it! You will not regret it. I am a true size 10 and ordered these in a UK8/US10 and they fit perfectly. I wouldn’t recommend sizing down as other reviewers have said. And even on my large foot, these didn’t look like clown shoes. I think the women’s cut is more narrow and flattering for a larger foot.

My daughter attends college in a tiny remote godforsaken northern town where winter never ends. Her poor feet have been freezing thanks to the the unforgiving cold and snow. She needed something that can handle the snowdrifts and ice. She asked me to buy these for her. Requested these specific boots by name; apparently they are the boot to get these days. Well, they seem practical enough for the season, so why not. But how to purchase shoes for someone hundreds of miles away? Zappos to the rescue. I ordered her size and they arrived the next day. She says they are a perfect fit and look awesome. What more can I ask for? Both dad and daughter are happy.

I bought these for my daughter and she LOVES them. I had a pair just like them when i was younger. They are awesome.

TERRIBLE? returned! They SQUEAK, CRACKLE and stick to floor while walking. SO DISAPPOINTED

This is my first pair of Docs! They were popular when I was in high school but I never owned any. They seemed so big & clunky. These are fabulous. I ordered the dark purple, very cool and quite subtle. Definitely a "heavy" shoe but not clunky. I have a narrow foot and am normally a 7.5/8. I ordered the size 5 and they are perfect. Definitely stiff at first, they do need to be broken in. But I can tell they're going to be comfortable!

I've worn Docs since the early 90s, and I agree with others that the quality is not what it used to be - and quality control is even worse. I used to be able to order a UK5/US7 in any style, and knew it would fit, and knew the shoe would be made correctly. Now there are issues like: sometimes a UK5 is huge and I need to reorder a UK4. (there is no way I'm a US6). Sometimes it fits great, and you order a second color in the same style, yet the second color fits too big/small. Sometimes the shoes have a flaw - stitching errors or hard lumps in the footbed. None of this used to happen. But all that said, if you manage to find a good pair, they are still better than many shoes out there today. It just takes a lot more effort than it used to. In terms of sizing, start with your normal size for anything Women's or Pascal. Go down a size for anything unisex.

They’re gorgeous!!!! I love them!

I love them- i heard doc martens had to be broken in. I planned on wearing them at home a little at a time but these were comfortable as soon as i put them on. And they look great!!

Bought for girl friendShe is thrilled with them

Comfortable right out of the box, even though the leather is still stiff, which I feel especially around the ankles. But I’m confident they will break in well. They feel slightly large, but since I bought them for the colder months this is fine - l’ll plan to wear them with thicker socks. The color is beautiful!

The boots are absolutely more beautiful in person. They were a little bit big, but I do not recommend sizing down (they don’t offer half sizes and I think sizing a whole size down would be too small). In my experience, wider boots tend to rub. Therefore, wearing thicker socks makes the boot more comfortable since they do run slightly big.

The boots are a bit stiff and i presume they run small as many size fives are too big for me- the foot part is very comfortable but as i first noted the top part of the boots is stiff. Hopefully it will soften up.

If anyone is going to wear the boots for the first time, I recommend wearing mini crew socks because the boots can cause discomfort and blisters if ankle socks are being used.

My daughter loves these! She did say they required a bit of breaking in, but that it didn't take long. The color is very unique. Almost more of a dark copper than red, but really pretty. On a side note, I have to say that Zappos has the most amazing customer service. There was a mix up on the boots we first received, but one phone call to customer service solved it. They were so friendly and polite, and had the new boots to us within two days. I will continue to order from Zappos. They never disappoint!

These were just huge. Too big shoes for me to fill. I love the concept but cannot really rock them.

I wear an 8.5. Ordered the 8 fit perfect with room. Beautiful color.

I bought these boots in a US8/UK6 in the Cherry Red Arcadia leather. I also own black lace-up Docs with the slight heel from a few years back. Over all, these Docs in the Cherry Red Arcadia leather are amazing. I receive compliments every time I wear them. They are black in color with subtle merlot red underpinnings. The more you wear the boots, the more the red shines through. There's a nice polish to these so they are more dressy than the muted Docs. I wear all my boots with Smartwool medium cushion crew socks, so the fit is great and comfortable right out of the box. The only deterimental aspect to the boots are the laces they come with. For my taste they are too short and slippery. I replaced mine with Delele brand wave, non-slip climbing shoe laces in black and another pair in red and black string rope boot lace style (from Amazon). The non-slip laces don't need double-knotting and the 62.99" are perfect for these boots. The red/black laces add a little bit of color and fun to an outfit when I'm in the mood.
